Most of the analysis and assessment included in the report is based on the brief Country Water Notes and Country Water Fact Sheets presented in Volume 2. These notes provide a brief description of the socioeconomic and geographical context and development objectives pursued in each country and their implications for water resources management. WRM includes such crosscutting issues, such as river basin management, flood and watershed management monitoring, institutional management, inter-sectoral water allocation, and water quality management. Volume 1 comprises four chapters. Chapter 1 is a description of the water resource base at the regional level. It includes an assessment of past and present trends in water use by sector. Chapter 2 analyzes key water issues in each of the focus countries, emphasizing problems of common concern, Chapter 3 presents the main water issues at the transboundary level and some emerging trends. Following the national and regional analysis of water resources, Chapter 4 presents key recommendations for improved water management at the national and transboundary levels.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCIDENTAL SPILLSADEQUATE WATERADEQUATE WATER RESOURCESAGRICULTURAL POLLUTIONAGRICULTURAL RUNOFFAGRICULTUREAQUATIC ECOSYSTEMAQUIFERSBASIC SANITATIONCIVIL SOCIETYCOASTAL AREASCOASTAL LAGOONSCOASTAL WATERCOASTAL WATERSCONSERVATIONCONSUMPTIVE USESCOOLING WATERCUBIC METERCUBIC METERSDAMSDEGRADED AREASDELTASDEMAND MANAGEMENTDETERIORATION OF INFRASTRUCTUREDIAGNOSTIC ANALYSISDISCHARGEDOWNSTREAM COUNTRIESDRAINAGEDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER SUPPLIESDROUGHTDROUGHTSEFFICIENT USE OF WATEREROSIONFINANCIAL INCENTIVESFLOOD CONTROLFLOOD FORECASTINGFLOOD INSURANCEFLOOD MANAGEMENTFLOOD MITIGATIONFLOOD PROTECTIONFLOOD RISKFLOOD RISK AREASFLOODINGFLOODPLAINSFLOODSFORESTRYFRESH WATERGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER RESOURCESGROUNDWATER SOURCESHOUSEHOLDSINDUSTRIAL SOURCESINDUSTRIAL WASTEWATERINDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENTINDUSTRIAL WATERINTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONSINVESTMENT REQUIREMENTSIRRIGATIONIRRIGATION WATERLAKESLOCAL COMMUNITIESMUNICIPAL USESMUNICIPAL WATERMUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLYNATIONAL WATER RESOURCESNATIONAL WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTNAVIGATIONNUTRIENT LOADSNUTRIENTSPIPED WATERPOINT SOURCESPOWER GENERATIONPROGRAMSQUALITY STANDARDSRAINFALLREGULATORY FRAMEWORKSRENEWABLE WATER RESOURCESRIPARIANRIPARIAN COUNTRIESRIVER BASINRIVER BASIN AUTHORITIESRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENTRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT PLANSRIVER BASINSRIVERSRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSAFETY OF MINE TAILINGSSANITATION SERVICESSEASEASSECTORAL ALLOCATIONSSECTORAL WATERSERVICE DELIVERYSEWER SERVICESEWERAGE SYSTEMSTOWNSTRANSBOUNDARY RIVER BASINSTRANSBOUNDARY WATER RESOURCESUNSAFE DAMSURBAN AREASURBAN COMMUNITIESURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SUPPLYWASTEWATERWASTEWATER SYSTEMSWASTEWATER TREATMENTWATERWATER ABSTRACTIONWATER AGENCIESWATER ALLOCATIONWATER AVAILABILITYWATER BODIESWATER BODYWATER CHARGESWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER MANAGEMENTWATER POLICIESWATER PRICESWATER QUALITYWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENTWATER QUANTITYWATER RATIONINGWATER REGULATIONWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER SERVICEWATER SERVICE DELIVERYWATER SERVICESWATER SHARINGWATER SHORTAGESWATER SUPPLIESWATER SUPPLYWATER SUPPLY PROJECTSWATER SYSTEMSWATER USEWATER USERWATER USERSWATER WITHDRAWALWATERSHEDWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWATERSHEDSWETLANDS WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT STRATEGIESWATER RESOURCES PLANNINGWATER RESOURCES QUALITY ASSESSMENTWATER RESOURCES REGULATIONSRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENTRIVER BASIN WATER QUALITYFLOOD MANAGEMENTWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWATER ALLOCATION POLICIESINSTITUTIONAL MANAGEMENTINTERSECTORAL WATER ALLOCATIONSOCIOECONOMIC ASPECTSWATER UTILIZATIONDEMAND MANAGEMENTEROSION CONTROLWATER PROTECTIONDROUGHT MANAGEMENTNUTRIENT CONTAMINATIONECOSYSTEM CONSERVATIONWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENTINTERNATIONAL WATER AGREEMENTSINTERNATIONAL WATER LAWDAM SAFETYWETLANDS RESTORATIONHYDROLOGICAL FORECASTINGWorld Bank10.1596/15280
